CobraNet question

[henny]

is there a way to output into CobraNet system from a windows pc, eg is there a driver that will allow windows programs to see a network feed in to CobraNet as a sound card

 

also can this same idea be used for input to the pc?

 

cheers

Ian,

 

As far as I'm aware, no. I'd love to be shown that this is possible, but I think that the hardware / firmware is tied up with their Cobranet cards only? However, it would be worth thinking how Stardraw manages to talk to Cobranet...

Do you already have a Cobranet infrastructure? There are no software codecs for Cobranet or Ethersound as far as I know. There is however a software codec for Telos Axia networked audio, the Axia IP audio driver for Windows. Axia is pretty easy to use once you get past the "sources and destinations" terminology, and the fact that when they talk about channels, they are talking about AES channels of 2 audio channels each. Each network node has 16 audio channels in, and 16 out.

Hi,

 

Digigram do various sound cards that will enable a PC to send / receive CobraNet and Ethersound.

unfortunately this is as far as I'm aware not possible to use a standard PC network card to push audio onto a cobranet network, as the audio data is not transmitted in a way that a standard network card can read (its layer 2 not layer 3), however the control data is transmitted over standard computer protocols on layer 3

 

this may not be 100% right, but thats what I can remember about it (and dig up from a quick google) at the moment
